One machine two torches can it be done?

New guy going to get flamed for this question. Go ahead lets here it.

So my question is can you have two torches set up instead of constantly switching out the torches? Let's say by buddy is over tig welding some aluminum so he needs the water cooler torch. In between him welding I'm welding somethat that is steel and don't need the water cooler torch just the air cooler torch. Is it possible for me to start to weld on something with out having to go unhook water cooled torch and hook up air cooled torch? It would save us time. If it won't work or not a good idea let me know. Would use same pedal so no chance of us both trying to use the machine at the same time.

Yes I want to alternate and not use them simultaneously.... I have an older synrowave 250DX. Another reason is because I seem to mess up the tungsten right away. Money is an object and if it is to much I will just say forget it.

never done a dual tig setup but years ago me and a buddy put a splitter on some leads an we both welded stick at the same time with one machine. it would burn hot until both of us started welding then it evened out.we was welding some skids to a deck with lh.
